 * Per the instructions in the “sitemap-help-options-ping” page, I created a yahoo
   API key. However, that’s ALL that I did. I literally just went to the Yahoo api
   creation page that you linked, selected “generic” and used my website’s url as
   the application.
 * I did NOT create a “project” or any of that. I merely created the api key and
   accepted the Yahoo agreement.
 * Is there anything more I should do?

 * Hi Robin,
 * ah, I need to update that page. Since Yahoo is now powered by Bing, they don’t
   have their own ping / webmaster API anymore.
 * Sorry for the trouble!

 * Thanks, glad to know!
 * By the way, the 4.x update is working well for me.
 * If any of you are seeing a styled but blank sitemap.xml file, view the source
   and you’ll see the separate/isolated extension sitemaps.
